About This Course
Precision parts require precision measurements and that starts with knowing how to read blueprints and engineering drawings so that the proper measurements can be taken.
In this course, learners will be introduced to key terms used in metrology and GD&T and how to read and interpret basic engineering drawing and GD&T symbols.
